Alex Eala gets wildcard at Philippine Women’s Open
Filipina tennis player Alex Eala has received a wildcard for the inaugural Philippine Women's Open, scheduled for January 26 at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.
Her participation is uncertain due to her commitment to the Australian Open, which runs from January 18 to February 1.
Indonesia's Janice Tjen, ranked World No. 56, also received a wildcard but faces similar scheduling conflicts.
The tournament will feature notable players such as World No. 45 Tatjana Maria and former World No. 2 and Paris Olympics silver medalist Donna Vekic.
